Optical Pressure Transducer

Project Overview

Validated and improved the design of an optical pressure transducer using COMSOL Multiphysics, simulating the combined effects of optical geometry, fluid environment, and thermal-mechanical properties on sensor accuracy.

My Contributions

Created detailed finite element models of the transducer, analyzing stress distribution and thermal effects on measurement accuracy. Proposed an improved mounting method at the sensing tip that reduced deformation and broadened the usable simulation environment for general testing scenarios.

Technologies

What I Learned

This project gave me practical experience in applying multiphysics modeling to sensor design. I learned how optical and mechanical domains interact in transducer performance and how robust structural improvements can expand the reliability of precision instrumentation.
